Everything you’re saying makes sense but oddly enough ...now that I’m on e85 at a much higher power level, my head temps drop almost 20 degrees after a WOT pull. That never happened on 91 at almost 200hp less. Is that not due to the fuel change?
ive been wanting to change my coolant ratio for a...
I’m running 3.73 with about 750whp and for having fun around town nothing can beat it. 1 and second can get scary but if you’re cruising and need to “pass” somebody lol...3rd is about as good as it gets for a 45mph start.
is this head cooling flaw still an issue if running e85?
I was thinking of also adding a water meth kit with perhaps a slight emphasis on the water to help with egt’s. I would think that would be more than enough to control cylinder temps without having to mess around with coolant flow. Thoughts??
I know it’s not as simple as my question but just humor me haha...
Since you have some serious chemistry knowledge would you mind looking at this SDS? Looks to me like it would be o2 and cat safe...
If there is no way to confirm lower temps on cylinder seven and eight after the mod how are people confirming that it actually is working. Just simply that 7 and 8 aren’t burning up?
Gotcha, that makes sense.. I’m probably somewhere in between.. I don’t really race the car but I’m running e85 full time so I’m looking for anything that decrease wear and increase longevity. I talked with VPs phone tech which wasn’t really helpful...he said it should be fine because there are...
Wow... there’s that knowledge drop I was looking for! Haha
Thanks so much for all the helpful info!
So no real concern for cats it would seem.
Would you think plugs/sensor fouling is that likely?
what do you think about this? A better/safer alternative...
Hi there, I'm curious if anyone could give me info on VP's M2 upper lube for alcohol fuels. Does anyone know if it is cat/O2 sensor safe?
Pretty simple composition:
Barium bis(dinonylnaphthalenesulphonate) - 1%-10%
Methyloxirane homopolymer - 90%-99%
Anyone have any petrochem knowledge they'd...
Hey so I threw a p0030 code the other day. O2 Heater circuit failure. Cleared it and checked for 12v to sensors. All seems well but it threw the light again.
So I’m pretty confident i need to replace a o2 sensor. Question is: which one? Anyone run into this problem? How am I able to determine...
That’s the rule I live by;) haha
Yeah obviously that’s true... I was gonna add the caveat that of course I break the law but $800 bucks for peace of mind every time I’m pulled over and every time I have to get emissions tested. . .It just felt like it was worth it.
Blasting through 3rd on a...
For me I decided to go with cats for two reasons mainly. First, the noise. With just a catback, the car was already a little too loud/droning for me, so I knew that adding lth’s and taking out cats was gonna be way too much.
And second, no judgment on anyone else at all but for me...
Here’s what I’ve come to learn:
There are rare circumstances or post ignition that can blow up cats but for the most part it’s quite the opposite. The leaner the mixture the hotter the egt =cat failure. And in fact, the ecu will begin adding more fuel if the cat temps start getting out of...
